Hartfield House

House. Dating from the 15th century, with later additions in the 16th and 18th centuries, it sits parallel to the road, with a late 16th-century cross-wing projecting forward to the left. The construction is timber-framed, now with modern textured render, and some colourwashed brick. The roofs are pantiled. The 15th-century range is 1½ storeys high, while the remainder of the house is 2 storeys with an attic in the cross-wing. Mid-20th century casement windows are present, along with canted former shop windows at both gable ends facing the road. A single gabled half-dormer window is visible. Two mid-20th century doors provide access. The 15th-century range has a stack close to the right-hand gable end.

The interior has been modernised and altered, particularly on the ground floor. The 15th-century range features exposed first floor framing, including a stop-chamfered scarf joint in the rear wallplate. The truss over the former open hall has a cambered tie beam and a simple square crown-post, splayed to a wider section at the base and cap, with 2-way bracing to the collar purlin. The stack was inserted against one end of the hall, likely towards the upper end. Two first-floor doorways, each side of the stack, have overlights with fretted balustrading. Fragments of old panelled plasterwork, with ropework-pargetted infill, are preserved on former external walls within the 18th-century addition.
